Actual tested R-Values differ from “Effective R-Values” in that they don’t account for the benefits of thermal mass. Why? Because including thermal mass benefits can be misleading. The IECC and ASHRAE already give credit for mass walls, and if we were to include them in our published R-values, we would be essentially “double dipping”. For more info check out our recent blog post.

Benefits of the Hi-R & Hi-R-H wall systems:

Simplicity

Interlocking insulation inserts

Single system for the structure and envelope

Durable concrete surface on the interior and exterior

Factory installed insulation

Inserts remain in place for vertically and horizontally reinforced cores
